Final Fantasy 14 (much like its predecesors) is filled with TONS and I mean TONS of eye candy. The visuals for this game are stunning. Final Fantasy is known for its crisp take on things and a story line worthy of Oscars.

 

From start to finish (no real end in sight), this game is a masterpiece. Everything from character creation, to choosing gear, to choosing class is all intertwined without you fully realizing it. Every single character/class in the game is necessary for one reason or another. Most games have you level up and gain better ranking classes only to have you forget the previous one but not in FF14. There are even farmers/ weavers/ cultivators and each is necessary, though you may only find that out when you need what they have to offer.

 

The gameplay is smooth and the controls are intuitive, everyone who played this game can honestly say they had to learn the controls, pro gamer or casual, this is a right of passage into the FF14 world.

 

I sadly cannot give away names or character corolations but I will say this story line will bring you to tears at times, and after long battles (some taking 1 hour) you want to put your controller down not for the day but only to cool off before commencing another adventure.

 

Anyone who has been with the FF franchise knows that this is truly a Final Fantasy and one that you don't wnat to stop playing. All who are not familiar to this franchise breathe easy just because its 14 doesn't mean yoo had to burn through 13 to understand this one. All FF games are brand new stories not really linked to the previous ones (FF13 was an exeption).
